Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 ounce crumbled fresh goat cheese
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon apple juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped dill
- 3/4 cup fresh corn (from 1 ear corn)
- 1 large tomato, diced
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and set up an ice bath. Add the green beans and cook just until they turn bright green and are barely tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and cool in the ice bath. Drain and pat dry.
- To make the dressing, whisk together the goat cheese, lemon zest and juice, apple juice, garlic, and pepper in a small bowl. Toss the green beans with half of the dressing and half of the dill and spread on a platter. Top with the corn and tomato, drizzle with the remaining dressing, and top with the remaining dill.
